Establish Your Company in Germany and Entrepreneur Visa

Establish Your Company in Germany: Open the Doors to the European Market

Turnkey Company Formation and Entrepreneur Visa (§ 21 AufenthG) Consultancy

Under Section 21 of the German Residence Act (§ 21 AufenthG), it is possible to establish your own business in Europe’s strongest economy, expand into the international market, and obtain a residence permit in Germany.

Are you looking to launch your business in Germany with an Entrepreneur Visa?

We are an experienced consultancy firm guiding you through every step of the entrepreneurial journey—from visa applications and selecting the right legal structure to registration, taxation, insurance, and accounting setup. Whether your goal is to establish a GmbH/UG, start as a Freelancer (Freiberufler), or open a Sole Proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen), we manage the process simply, quickly, and in full legal compliance.

Germany offers an ideal business environment for entrepreneurs. While the process for foreign investors is transparent and systematic, it differs significantly from procedures in other countries. The key to success lies in presenting a flawless Business Plan that convinces the German authorities.

At ManageD Consultancy, we manage this entire complex process as a "Turnkey" service, from initial idea analysis to company registration and your residence permit application.

The Key to Your Visa Success: A Certified Business Plan

In Entrepreneur Visa applications, the most decisive document is the Business Plan. This is not just an idea presentation; it must convince the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and the Foreigners' Authority (Ausländerbehörde) that your business will provide an economic benefit to Germany, meet a regional need, and remain sustainable.

We prepare your business plan to the standards expected by German authorities, including:

  • Detailed Business Concept (Geschäftsidee)

  • Market and Competitive Analysis (Markt- und Wettbewerbsanalyse)

  • Capital Requirements Plan (Kapitalbedarfsplan)

  • Financing and Liquidity Plan (Finanzierungs- und Liquiditätsplan)

  • 3-Year Profit/Loss Projection (Ertragsvorschau)

Common Company Types in Germany

  • GmbH (Limited Liability Company): Minimum capital of €25,000 (€12,500 can be paid upfront). Offers high prestige and limited liability.

  • UG (Mini-GmbH): Minimum capital starting from €1. Ideal for startups with lower initial capital.

  • AG (Stock Corporation): Minimum capital of €50,000. Suitable for large-scale investments.

  • Einzelunternehmen (Sole Proprietorship): Easy to establish with low costs, but involves personal liability.

Who Is This Service For?

  • Company Founders (§ 21 Abs. 1 AufenthG): Investors looking to open branches, engage in import/export, or scale within the EU market via a GmbH or UG.

  • Freelancers (§ 21 Abs. 5 AufenthG): Professionals such as software developers, consultants, engineers, artists, and designers seeking "Freiberufler" status and residency.

Step-by-Step Formation Guide (Summary)

  1. Legal Form Determination: Choosing between Freiberufler, Gewerbe, or a corporate structure (UG/GmbH).

  2. Business Plan & Visa File: Preparing the specialized dossier for the Consulate or Foreigners' Office.

  3. Notary Approval & Capital Deposit: Drafting articles of association, opening a bank account, and depositing share capital.

  4. Handelsregister (Commercial Register): Official registration via a notary.

  5. Gewerbeanmeldung (Trade Office Registration): Registering the business at the local municipal level.
